What it’s like
The place. Cheyenne is a small town in western Oklahoma and the seat of Roger Mills County. It is a younger place than many small towns, with a median age on the youthful side. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are modest. Household incomes run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than is true of the country as a whole. Winters are cold, with highs near freezing at the coldest, and summers are hot, with July the warmest month; the year brings a moderate amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, then farming, forestry and mining, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Roger Mills County, the largest workplaces include Roger Mills Memorial Hospital, a critical access hospital, and Cheyenne Schools. Unemployment in the county is low, though the county had fewer jobs last year than the year before, and few residents work from home.
Things to do. Washita Battlefield National Historic Site is a protected area in or beside town, and it is the natural first stop for anyone interested in the history of the region. Dead Warrior Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away for time on the water. Foss State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive away.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Roger Mills County.
